Shift-Mark
LEVEL A
MARK
Pressing SHIFT-MARK will mark the sound that you have selected for removal. A dot in the right
corner of the display warns you if the sound that you have marked for removal is being used in
at least one of the Kits or in the Palette. The dot is just a warning however, you can still remove
the sound, leaving the Kit or the Palette that used the sound incomplete. When a sound is
marked for removal, the
DISPLAY will flash. To un-mark a selected sound, just press the SHIFT-
MARK button again. If you have marked some sounds and leave the shift functions without
deleting them, they will be unmarked and you have to start all over, marking them again at a
later stage. If you become unsure whether these sounds should be deleted, simply leave these
functions by pressing
EXIT to un-mark your previous selection.
Shift-Delete
LEVEL B
DELETE
You are now ready to delete the selected sounds that you have marked for removal. Be aware
that this is going to be a ”no-going-back” operation.
1. Press the
SHIFT-DELETE button. The DISPLAY will flash, indicating the total number of blocks
that will be deleted.
2. Confirm the intent by pressing the
SHIFT-DELETE button again or abort the whole thing by
pressing
EXIT.
While the ddrum4 is clearing up its sound memory, the
DISPLAY will display a countdown as
the memory blocks are deleted. This operation will take a while, one can not tell exactly how
long because this is depending on the size and location of the sounds that are removed. You
must wait until this operation is finished, which will be indicated by a zero in the display.
Do not turn off the ddrum4 during this process!
Shift-Exit
Sounds that are marked, as described above, can be transmitted as ddrum4 MIDI System
Exclusive data via the MIDI Out connector. Press SHIFT-EXIT to start the transmission. The
DISPLAY will count down the blocks of the individual sounds being transmitted. You may inter-
rupt the procedure by pressing exit. The transmission will then stop after any current sound
has been completely transmitted.
Note: The data will be transmitted as several System Exclusive data packets. The number of
packets will depend upon the size and number of sounds that are included in the transmission.
You can not restore any individual sounds that have been a part of a multi-sound transmission.
If you want to be able to restore individual sounds, you must transmit them one by one.
